Enjoy!
"Miss Heartfilia, PLEASE!" Lucy's publisher begged, tears pouring down her face as she got down on her knees.
"No, Anne!" Lucy said, exasperated. "Levy gets to read it first!"
"But, but they're back now!" Anne sputtered, now gripping her client's leg and refusing to let go. "It's been two hours, surely that's enough time if she has Gale-Force reading glasses!"
"She's been missing for seven years, why would she immediately start reading my novel?" Lucy asked with a groan, trying to shake the other woman off. "She's trying to get acclimated to all of the changes, give her some time!"
With that, she managed to get free, and walked into her house, locking the door as Anne tried following her inside.
Lucy collapsed on her couch, groaning. When Anne had found out that her first book published was not the first she had ever written, she had made a huge deal out of it, demanding for it to be handed over so that it could go on the shelves of every bookstore in Fiore.
Unfortunately for Anne, Lucy had sworn to Levy, her missing best friend, that she would be the first to read that first novel.
And a Celestial Spirit mage always kept their promises.
When the blunette in question was done reading the aforementioned novel, she squealed happily at the ending before rushing to the nearest bookstore and buying copies of Lucy's other books and making a mental note to ask her best friend to sign them.
Then again, she had Lucy herself, so why bother with a signature?
When Lucy finally handed over the manuscript to her publisher, Anne nearly fainted in happiness. It was well-known that Lucy's first book had never been read and the reason for it, and she had certainly gained a following of loyal readers since then who were very eager to finally read it. Heck, Lucy could publish her grocery list and some of her fans would buy it.
Two weeks later, the older woman hummed cheerfully as she flipped through hundreds of pre-order forms, wondering if this would be Lucy's best-selling novel.
Please review!
